Sparring: stick my hands out in an X positon in their face while ducking my chin between my biceps and circling to an open direction

Fight: Usually slip the first one and counter immdietly

yup

Ducking to the right and sticking a jab in their face.

Ditto

I sparred a lot.

You too huh?

Sparring: Clinch them up, shove off and then hit them back.

Leg kick...

Fight: Shake it off, hit them back harder then they can hit me.

I laugh at them.

Pplate, a apologize but I can't take this thread that seriously. I personally believe that sparring is the only answer to all your questions if you are looking for a definitive answer. If you're just curious on how other people do it that's fine I usually change day to day on what I want to do.
